JotW, The Halabja massacre is in dispute. You can't cite this cleanly and expect not to be challenged: Re: The Kurdish town, Halabaja, was gassed. 5,000 people were killed And the Kurds seem to have been killed with a cyanide agent that was typical of the Iranian arsenal, and not that of Saddam Hussein.

Thanks for agreeing that the mass graves you were lying about before were just grave sites of the casualties of the 8 year Iran Iraq war. And BTW, all of those Iranian dead have the chemical signature of Reagan/Bush/Rumsfeld and the other neoCON fascist Bush THUGS you are supporting. NEWS: Iran Court Orders U.S. to Pay $600 Million for supplying chemical weapons to Saddam Wed Apr 28, 2004 10:51 AM ET reuters.com TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian court has ruled the United States should pay $600 million in compensation for supplying ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons, the official IRNA news agency said on Wednesday. IRNA said the money in the case, brought by Iranian war veterans and disabled, should be paid to survivors of attacks on the town of Sardasht which borders Iraq. Iraqi gas attacks killed thousands of Iranians and Iraqi Kurds in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands died on both sides and Iran has thousands disabled by chemical arms. No further details were available and Iranian officials were unavailable for any immediate comment. "The court has ordered the American government to pay the money for furnishing Saddam with chemical weapons to attack Iran," IRNA reported. The United States and Iran have been at odds since 1979 when more than 50 Americans were held hostage by Iranian student militants at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for 444 days after the Islamic revolution. The verdict was submitted to the Swiss Embassy which has covered U.S. interests in Iran since Washington cut ties with Tehran in 1980.
